Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+
Our Verdict: The S24+ leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP, and there's more battery in the S24+, 4900mAh to 3095mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The S24+ has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.1" and sharper at 509 PPI, and the iPhone 13 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the S24+. Only pay up for the S24+ if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro makes more sense.
Buying outright, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at £229 SIM-free.
